Abstract

A metal-free allylic amination of alkenes with simple sulfonamides and sulfamates allows the introduction of a wide range of nitrogen functionality at the allylic position of alkenes with unique regioselectivity and no allylic transposition in the presence of phosphine selenides or selenoureas as catalysts.
